Two and a Half Men co-star Angus T. Jones (Jake) Apoligizes For 'Filth' Comments in Video

By Susan Duclos

Two and a Half Men actor, Angus T. Jones who plays Jake, has apolized for his inflammatory comments made in series of interviews where he denounced his own show, said he didn't want to be in the show, and pleaded for viewers to stop watching.

In his interview, Jones also said: “If you watch Two and a Half Men, please stop watching Two and a Half Men. I'm on Two and a Half Men
and I don't want to be on it. Please stop watching it and filling your
head with filth. People say it’s just entertainment. Do some research on
the effects of television and your brain, and I promise you, you’ll
have a decision to make when it comes to television, especially with
what you watch."

In
a statement issued late Tuesday, Jones said he had the highest regard
for all of the people he has worked with on the comedy, including
creator Chuck Lorre and Warner Bros. studio chief Peter Roth.

"I apologize if my remarks reflect me showing indifference to and
disrespect of my colleagues and a lack of appreciation of the
extraordinary opportunity of which I have been blessed," said Jones, who
reportedly makes $350,000 an episode. "I never intended that."

Jones wasn't at the studio lot for a rehearsal on Tuesday. He's not
scheduled to appear on the two episodes that are being filmed before the
end of the year, said a person close to the show who spoke on condition
of anonymity because Warner Bros. and CBS haven't commented publicly on
Jones. His character has recently joined the Army and his airtime has
been cut down.

His real-life adventure came to light on Monday, when he said in a
video posted by the Forerunner Chronicles in Seale, Ala., featured him
talking about not wanting to be on "Two and a Half Men" anymore.

After calling Two and a Half Men "cursed" in reaction to the viral Angus T. Jones video testimonial for religious group the Forerunners Chronicles, Charlie Sheen has launched another verbal grenade at an old enemy: show creator Chuck Lorre.

"Obviously, not having been there for some time, the Angus T. Jones
that I knew and still love is not the same guy I saw on YouTube
yesterday," Sheen is quoted as telling TMZ.

"I dare anyone to spend 10 years in the laugh-track that is Chuck
Lorre's hive of oppression and not suffer some form of an emotional
tsunami," he said of Jones.
